Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 163 The sudden end

Go back to a few minutes ago,

Tokugawa called a timeout!

"What should we do now?" The first person to ask was the catcher who should be in charge of the overall situation, Horii!

This is not that Horii has really lost his sense of proportion, but he has to take care of his pitchers' emotions.

Baseball is a sport that starts with the pitcher. If something goes wrong with the pitcher as the source, everything will be in vain.

In particular, their team only has this ace, and Japan’s ace plot is very heavy.

If there is an absolute ace, then the playing time of other pitchers will be seriously insufficient, and there will be no possibility of a tough battle in terms of pressure resistance, experience, etc. Unless that pitcher has a big heart like Sendō or Sawamura, especially Sendō. There is almost no mental state.

Because of this, you can only rely on this one person at critical moments.

Similarly, the coaching staff did not send anyone to pass the order. There is no doubt that walking is the best way.

But if there is a problem with the trump card mentality, then we can only bite the bullet and fight with Xiandao!

Just like Miyuki, do you really think he won't escort people?

Miyuki has walked people before, but Seido is not allowed to walk. If he walks, the pitcher will self-destruct!

Neither Fukiya nor Sawamura is the kind of person who can regulate their emotions and fighting spirit. If they walk someone and their momentum is gone, the game will be over.

The so-called walks hurt morale and momentum. In the final analysis, only the pitcher is hurt. The self-confidence that has always been there has led to the ace's self-esteem being very high.

Professional players are basically not affected by home runs because they are used to it and know that it is inevitable.

But those students, especially those with some talents, grew up next to a group of ordinary people. The self-confidence they have accumulated over time is impossible to get used to. In addition, they are young, so they are prone to psychological problems.

The situation at this time was different from the second game. In the second game, I was really scared, and the game had just started.

This is a critical moment, and if we win it decisively, we can win the game.

A walk at this time means a complete admission of defeat.

This is the hardest thing to accept for a child who is very competitive. This is a middle school student who would rather fight to the death to retain glory than retreat!

"Keep your distance!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Horii finished speaking, Kanda asked to speak without any hesitation!

Horii was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was already prepared to die with Kanda!

"Isn't it incredible? That's right! This is not like me at all.

Although I don’t want to admit it, this guy and I are not in the same dimension now!

To be honest, I already have a bit of a psychological shadow on him!

But even so, I still want to win!

End the game before it's his next turn! ! !

If possible, end it in the second half of the inning! ! ! "

Here, for victory!

Ace swallowed his pride!

This result is the best for Tokugawa, as Sendō is walked, and there is no problem with the ace's mentality.

Admitting failure often requires greater courage than dying in battle.

Just like in reality, cowards choose to commit suicide to escape reality.

Therefore, there is a saying that sometimes it takes more courage to live than to die.

Because in that case, a happy death would be painless, but living would have to endure hellish torture. It was simply impossible to wish for death!

"Kanda!..." He didn't expect his partner to be so brave, and Horii secretly made up his mind!

"Huh! Now that it's like this! You have to win even if you die!" Horii took a deep breath, said this sentence extremely seriously, and then turned around resolutely.

"Bad ball!"

"Four bad balls!"

"Four bad goals! In this way, both sides share the points!

Unexpectedly, Tokugawa made such a choice in this situation. This put a lot of psychological pressure on the pitchers!

With such great determination, Tokugawa's determination to win is evident. Be careful, Chicheng Junior High School! "

Even if there is no reminder from the explanation, Immortal Dao can still feel it!

Kanda looked at himself with a sad and desperate look, but without any fear or regret, these negative emotions that symbolized mental problems.

And Kanda’s body language all expresses the same meaning! I want to win, and I don’t care about anything. I just want to win this game, and I will win even if I die!

At this moment, Sendō knew that the walk was not the will of the team, but the will of the pitcher.

"Forget it! The same score is okay!"

Just as Sendao said, Sawamura was struck out, although the look of Sawamura being struck out was still funny.

"It's not good! This pitcher's condition has improved to the next level!" Sendao took a deep look at Kanda who walked down the pitcher's mound with an expressionless face.

Kanda's condition is unprecedentedly good, and even the speed of the ball has increased significantly. Imagine what it would be like to have the average speed of the straight ball similar to the previous top speed.

We know what information Kanda's three straight balls that struck out Sawamura revealed.

But the next moment Xiandao smiled!

Because, he saw Sawamura's expression changed!

It should be said that not only the expression, but also the character, the original noisy atmosphere suddenly disappeared as if it had never existed!

Obviously Sawamura felt the momentum contained in those three straight balls!

I feel everything that Immortal Dao feels!

The kind of determination that the other party can give up everything at all costs if they want to win.

But what kind of person is Sawamura?

Anyone who has seen it knows that when he shook hands with Honglei City for the first time, Sawamura was no less shocked than he is now!

And what was Sawamura's performance at that time?

Feeling the opponent's determination to inject baseball, it inspired Sawamura's fighting spirit!

I definitely don’t want to lose to his fighting spirit!

The same is true today. The opponent's state and determination inspired Sawamura's fighting spirit. It can be said that Sawamura's fighting spirit will not lose to Kanda at all!

"nice shot!"

“The batter is out!!!”

"Change the scene!"

In response, three consecutive strikeouts!

Easily solved the opponent's lower line attack!

You must know the pure personal attack power. Now Tokugawa's lower line will not lose at all to one or two sticks!

This shows how far Sawamura's condition has reached!

Unlike last year, Chicheng had a group explosion last year, but strictly speaking, this group explosion did not include Sawamura. At most, he was a little more stable in controlling the ball.

Because the catcher couldn't catch his ball, he couldn't completely explode. So last summer, Sawamura was in good condition, but he could only feel the frustration of being unable to use his strength!

But the person squatting in front of him now is Xian Dao, a man who can catch any kind of ball!

If Nimbus catches the ball, even if Miyuki misses the ball continuously, Kousendō will not miss it. After all, his reaction and dynamic vision are not comparable to Miyuki, but as a catcher, Sendō can't compare with Miyuki.

Even if he learns faster than Miyuki, he has only played four rounds in official competitions, not to mention that he hasn't used it for many years, right?

"Extension! The game has entered an extra period!!!

And the condition of the pitchers on both sides is obviously different from before.

It seems that the game will not be easy to determine the winner.

But with the presence of Sendō-kun in Chicheng Middle School, the pressure is still on Tokugawa's side. Let's adjust our mood and prepare to watch the next game! "

What only Sendao can see is Sawamura's eyes!

Anyone who has read the original work will know that this is the look in Sawamura's eyes when he was a sophomore in high school!

Or rather, it’s the look in Cheng Gongming’s eyes! ! !

The chin is slightly raised, and the eyes give people a condescending and domineering feeling.

Sawamura really looks like Narumiya in some aspects! ! !

But the difference is that Narugong Ming gives people a sense of arrogance and coldness, while Sawamura gives people a sense of majesty!

Maybe it’s because of the different eye color!

Although Xiandao sometimes looks at people like this, the eyes of Xiandao put more pressure on people!

It's just that no one has seen it, because Xiandao rarely shows paranoia about one thing, and most of them give people a gentle feeling!

"This pitcher is very interesting!" At this time, Rei Takashima in the stands became somewhat interested in Sawamura!

It's normal for players to be in good shape sometimes and sometimes not.

But Sawamura's state is obviously inspired by the opponent's fighting spirit, which is interesting. This is also a kind of ace qualification!

And it’s a rare one!

This kind of person can maintain a strong fighting spirit at all times and often becomes more courageous over setbacks.

Because of this, Takashima Rei has decided that she will come to watch the next game.

Originally, she had completed her observation of the Immortal Way by the end of this game.

After all, he has decided to recruit Immortal Dao at all costs, and today has proved that Immortal Dao's performance is not accidental, so his actual level will not matter until he enters Qingdao!

But today there was another person that she didn't pay attention to originally, so she decided to try it again!

The competition has entered a real fever pitch, and everyone in the Tokugawa team feels like they've seen a bayonet with a red sword!

The ball also began to be mainly straight balls, with changing balls interspersed from time to time. After the original catcher retired, the new catcher's ball distribution, although not brilliant, was not so rigid!

In addition, the straight ball is really difficult to hit today, so that sometimes I know that I can’t hit any ball well!

He was suppressed by someone's strength, or to be precise, by the pitcher's will!

However, things in the world are so dramatic!

"Ping!"

"Snapped!"

"got inside!!!

In the top of the eighth inning of the extra round, eight-bat Takada hit a left field home run with two outs! ! !

Three to two! ! !

The first to score is Chicheng Middle School! ! ! "

The situation is out of control!

Takada, this damn fat guy, didn’t open his mouth to eat for three years!

This guy's batting average is very low, very low, but he really can't stand the hit!

The place has gone crazy! ! !

With the condition of the pitchers on both sides, everyone thought they were about to enter the pitching station. However, not long after they finished speaking, they received a slap on their backhand!

Chicheng opened up the situation, but the opponent still had a chance to say Yunala!

But the pressure is indeed completely on Tokugawa's side!

Although the pressure is there, it will take at least 3 rounds before it is Xiandao's turn. This is too sudden!

However, Kanda was still unaffected. All he could do was throw the ball into his glove, so Takeda was struck out and replaced!

However, everyone understands that this is really going to happen!

Sawamura's exaggerated drifting ball was difficult for viewers to see because of the distance.

But even the base fingers on the sidelines and even the bench are starting to see the ball move.

This kind of ball is simply not something that people (junior high school students) can hit.

(Just ignore him!)

Xiandao: "Who do you think is not a human being? Come and make it clear!"

...…）

"Snapped!"

"The last straight ball! The game is over! Three to two!

Although due to the venue, Chicheng’s start was very unsuitable for the game after the rain!

But as the game progressed, they won the game tenaciously and defeated their strong rival Tokugawa Junior High School to reach the semi-finals.

It can even be said that by winning Tokugawa, they have one foot in the door to the Kanto Competition! ! ! "

"Hahaha! It scared me to death! Well done!!!"

Do you think this is what Sawamura said? No no no! This is Coach Nakanishi who has been hiding on the sidelines for a whole game!

Coach Nakanishi is usually a very dignified and steady person, but who made this game related to his precious apprentice?

As the number one immortal, Coach Nakanishi can be said to be at the level of a crazy fan, and the usual things have long been forgotten!

Anyway, in such a small place, you don’t have to worry about being recognized!

However, what he never expected was that someone who knew him was not far from him!

"This is...! Wildcat Little League coach Nakanishi?" At this time, Takashima Rei couldn't believe his eyes.

She can fit an egg in her mouth! (Who makes people talk small?)

Rei Takashima was very aware of the level of Coach Nakanishi. When he just retired and returned to China, countless top high schools and universities tried their best to invite him!

However, Rei Takashima couldn't put that honor-filled, unsmiling famous coach, champion coach, and former professional star in the major leagues together with the man in front of him who looked more exaggerated than a 300-pound fat man. Compare!

"If Sendō was willing to personally pitch, these guys wouldn't even be able to get a hit!" Coach Nakanishi didn't notice the stunned Rei Takashima at all, looking at the figure on the field, showing endless regret!

Of course, his voice was too low, even the people sitting next to him couldn't hear it, let alone Takashima Rei!

"No, he should inherit my mantle and be a pitcher! Really!"

Although Rei Takashima didn't hear what the other party said, Coach Nakanishi just called Sendou's name, but she heard it clearly!

"That Coach Nakanishi is actually a fan of Sendō-kun? What's going on?

But this is a rare opportunity! "Thinking of this, Takashima Rei decided to go over and talk!

You must know that the Wildcats are very popular. Even if they enter youth baseball in junior high school, many of those players will listen to the advice of Coach Nakanishi!

In other words, although there is no way to persuade him to leave his team, getting the head coach Nakanishi is the same as having a steady stream of backbone of the team in the future.

Thinking about the Wildcats' tactical execution ability and tacit understanding, it saves a lot of running-in time, right?

As long as other people have a tacit understanding with people who are born in wild cats, it will be a great thing.

Although the last few years entering high school have been bad years for wildcats, it has no impact at all.

　It’s really hard to write about rookies pecking each other. The game has to be bad but it can’t be a lively one. I really have to die!

　　But now Tokugawa has completely lost its use value. One of the last values ​​is to let Takashima Rei see Sawamura. Otherwise, it is almost summer preliminaries, and it is logically impossible to watch so many games in a row.

　　The second final value is the contact between Takashima Rei and Coach Nakanishi. What impact this has, we will know later.

　　I can't spoil it, but this foreshadowing will soon show that unlike Coach Nakanishi and Miyuki, I haven't even thought about the specific time to activate it. The earliest it will be after a few preliminaries in the summer of my first year of high school.

　　This is still the earliest.

　　High school is really coming.

　　Keep asking for votes.
